(Jean-Pierre Bourtayre/Claude François/Eddy Marnay)

As I look at you lying there, in your eyes I can see myself
And you hair is like my hair, it's the face of my son.
Everyday you'll be growing up, there are things for us both to learn
Man to man we'll be talking, side by side we will run.

For now it's you and I together
No one else could ever step into the world we're sharing
Nobody could match the caring, nobody could understand the feeling
You and I together we'll go on forever, knowing all about each other
Can a father be a brother when a son becomes a man ?

If my love doesn't always show and I hurt you with foolish words
Just because I am older I won't always be right
In your games I will play with you, and your life will be my success
Al your dreams will be my dreams, and your fight is my fight.

For now it's you and I together
No one else could ever step into the world we're sharing
Nobody could match the caring, nobody could understand the feeling
You and I together we'll go on forever, knowing all about each other
Can a father be a brother when a son becomes a man ?
